Join us for our Annual Economic Update with a Midwest perspective. Senior Economist with CIBC, Katherine Judge, will assess where the US and Midwest economies are in the expansion and their prospects in 2022. She will discuss the impact on construction activity associated with the labor shortage and elevated inflation, while providing forecasts for housing demand, factors impacting commercial real estate demand, and infrastructure spending implications.
